University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Top Questions

There would be a lot of construction on campus in the next few years.

I wish I had known that the weather would be so cold. It doesn't make me regret coming to this university, however had I known that temperatures could reach below zero, I would've packed warmer clothes, invested in Under Armour, and chosen to live in a residence hall that is closer to my classes. The flu weather has definitely hit this campus hard, and a couple days ago I ordered a humidifier online because my roommate and I are suffering from the dry air and illness that is hanging around. Even so, I love La Crosse.

I really wish I would have had a better idea that the atmosphere here was so White Cultured.

Before I attended the Univeristy of Wisconsin - La Crosse, I wish I would have known that making friends in a new place is not something I should have been worrying about. Students on campus are so friendly, and during the first week of classes, everyone is in the same situation. My stress and anxiety levels would have been at a healthier level if I would have realized this earlier.

Before I came to this school I wish I had known that our dining center, Whitney, doesn't really have the best food to eat. Being a freshman, living on campus I have to eat almost every meal there. But the good thing is we are getting a new food provider next year, so hopefully the food will be worth eating and students will enjoy eating their meals at Whitney.

I wish I had known how expensive college can be, as I spent more time in high school playing sports than working at my then part time job at Mcdonalds. Other than that, My college is simply amazing. College is quite an experience.

In high school, there was always a mentality that the students who liked school and worked hard were "nerds" or "geeks." Now that I am in college, I see that people who love their classes, major, or area of study are the lucky, successful students. I wish I had known that being passionate about what you're learning is actually cool in college. If anything, others will be jealous that you are so happy with your life path. You're spending money to study, so find your passion and work hard for it!

I wish I had known how beautiful and how much space the school has for its location. There are quiet study places everywhere on campus in the smallest corners or widest areas. When all hard work is finished and there is time to kill, the university has many different organizations and clubs that have weekly meetings and events; creating your own club is also a short process.

I wish I would have known more about the events that the campus puts on. Each year, an organization called CAB coordinates entertainment-based events on campus. These events can range from anything such as a music artist or a hypnotist show. Going to these events is a great way to meet new people and have a fun time! Most of the events on campus are free to attend, however, some of the bigger name performances require paid tickets.

I wish I would have known that it is so heavily saturated with Biology and Psychology majors; I feel as though I know only a handful of people who aren't studying these subjects. It doesn't change the way I feel about them as friends, but it limits my conversations with them because I am not studying either one of these two subjects.
